There have been a lot of
changes over the past 12 months to the process and availability of a
tourist visa to Vietnam. Below is some information regarding what is available to the average tourist wishing to visit this marvelous country. Short term tourist: (1 week - 3 months.) Visa on arrival (this is not a traditional visa on arrival and you have to pre apply) Process: Submit an online application with payment to a third party, they will process this and then send back to you a confirmation letter. On arrival in Vietnam simply present this letter to immigration where they will insert a visa in your passport. The maximum length of visa for the average tourist is 3 months, both multiple and single entry visas are available using this method. Links to follow
Visa via the Vietnamese embassy: You can apply direct to the embassy of Vietnam from the country you are in. This process has been in operation for a long time now and is the best for peace of mind. You need to apply at least a month in advance (before your departure date). You will need to send your passport some photos, your application form and a fee to the relevant department at the Vietnamese embassy. Again the maximum length of stay for most tourist is 3 months, although recently there have been stories of people only being able to get a one month entry visa, but at least you now your visa situation before arriving.

Once your in the country: At the moment it is a little unclear as to if the average tourist is able to renew their visa or extend from within Vietnam. For this year it seamed that after you had used up your first 3 month visa, you were able to get another 3 month visa from within Vietnam, after that a one month extension was granted before you had to leave the country. As we said before its all a little hazy at the moment but usually there is a path to follow all be it unclear. If you are in any doubt then please post you questions on the Mui Ne Forum, and I am sure you will find the answers you are looking for.
